Mayra Lyssette Fernandez 47” Carver – August 2021 Meridian was the best experience for my son. We celebrated his 18th birthday with his closest friends. It was truly amazing how management made sure his friends were safe and comfortable. The music quality was impeccable and all the water toys available were unexpected. This cruise party was absolutely perfect. I will definitely return back to book again.
Leslie B. 50” Sea Ray – July 2021 We had the best time with Meridian Private Yachts! Gia was great at communicating and coordinating everything. Our captain was Ken and he was amazing! The bachelorette had the best time and so did our party of 12! Would highly recommend them!
